There is no information on the BitKingdom website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The BitKingdom website domain (“bitkingdom.org”) was registered on the 14th of August 2015, however the domain registration is set to private.

Marketing videos featured on the BitKingdom website are hosted on a YouTube account bearing the name “Arsyan Ismail”.

On his LinkedIn profile, Ismail (right) lists his location as Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

At the time of publication Alexa estimate that 39.6% of traffic to the BitKingdom website also originates out of Malaysia. Vietnam is the second-largest source of traffic at 20%.

Update 10th September 2016 – Arsyan Ismail has been in contact to advise he is not running BitKingdom.

As per an email sent on September 9th;

I am not the man behind this scheme, im just a contractor who help design the website. Im hosting the youtube on my account because the client dont have an account. I will create an account for them soon to host the youtube videos.

I work in Kuala Lumpur as a web developer on a startup company and we design the website for them as a client.

When asked who his client was, Ismail replied:

I have non-disclosure agreement with the client. I can only confirm or deny who is my client.

iNovaLife launched in 2014 and are based out of Québec in Canada.

Listed as Founder and Director of Finance on the iNovaLife website is Martin Giroux (below right).

As per Giroux’s iNovaLife corporate bio;

iNovaLife is my first exposure to the amazing world of Network Marketing. I decided I could never abandon this course.

Instead of giving up what has been a remarkable opportunity to grow as a person, and as a businessman, I brought my company to a phenomenal level of maturity.

The reason I have stayed the course is because I have the conviction that iNovaLife is going to occupy such an important role in improving the lives of so many Canadian families.

There is no doubt in my mind, that this program will allow many families who need help to significantly reduce essential expenses while helping them to dramatically improve their quality of life.

According to an article in Le Journal De L’assurance, the current incarnation of iNovaLife came about after a bankruptcy filing in 2014.

An update published on the Zeek Rewards Receivership website last week has announced that Dawn Wright-Olivares and Daniel Olivares are to be sentenced on September 13th.

Both Wright-Olivares and her son plead guilty to fraud back in late 2013.

The pair are believed to have testified against Paul Burks and co-operated with regulators investigating the case, however the extent of their involvement in the case against Paul Burks has not been made public. Neither has Wright-Olivares and Olivares’ respective plea deals.

We might get some insight into both at the sentencing hearing, with cooperation from both expected to have an impact on sentencing. [Continue reading…]

A common theme in Charles Scoville’s lengthy Facebook rants about the SEC, is that Traffic Monsoon had enough money to pay off investors.

What most affiliates haven’t realized is that Scoville isn’t talking about the total $55 ROI offered, but rather the partial ROI amounts shown in their backoffices.

Payment of this amount would leave the majority of Traffic Monsoon affiliates with a loss (with respect to how much they initially invested).

What makes Scoville’s claims even more questionable now, is the revelation that neither he nor Traffic Monsoon maintained any financial records with respect to the business. [Continue reading…]

We haven’t quite reached Paul Burks levels of desperation yet, but James Merrill was certainly channeling him when he asked a court to suppress all evidence collected against him.

Merrill’s motion, if granted, would have effectively gutted the DOJ’s case against him – leaving the regulator unable to use any evidence obtained via seizure of TelexFree assets.

Given the evident lopsidedness such an order would create, yesterday Judge Hillman saw fit to deny Merrill’s motion in its entirety. [Continue reading…]

Looks like someone over at Kairos Technologies recently acquired The Book of Ponzi Excuses 101.

Over the last few weeks Kairos Technologies has had trouble paying affiliates. In addition to affiliate accounts randomly not working, last week the Kairos Technologies backoffice went offline.

The company also lost ePayments as a processor, which it replaced with Paysera, a small Lithuanian processor.

As these changes were being implemented, Kairos Technologies also limited affiliate withdrawals to preset amounts once a month.

On the Kairos Technologies website, the last three news items are all related to affiliate payment problems. [Continue reading…]

There is no specific information on the Community Treasures website indicating who owns or runs the business.

The Community Treasures website domain (“communitytreasures.co”) was first registered on August 1st, 2014.

Otis Francis is listed as the domain owner, with an address in the US state of Nevada also provided.

Marketing videos on the Community Treasures website are hosted on a YouTube channel bearing the name “Izangel Francis”:

The I Was Promised Donuts website is a photo feed that appears to belong to Mica Francis-Angel.

Curiously the I Was Promised Donuts website domain lists Otis Francis as the owner, however this time an address in London, UK is provided.

I was unable to find an MLM history for either Otis Francis, Izangel Francis or Mica Francis-Angel.
